Rep. Pena Calls It A "Death Watch" On The House Floor

Go check out his blog, A Capitol Blog - keep checking in he's updating this post. Here's the post, HB 2 DEATH WATCH:

Okay folks, this is it! It is now 8:25 p.m. and the House is at ease. WHY?

There are not enough votes (or they are choosing not to vote) in the House to pass HB 2. We are essentially in a "death watch."

It's like watching the Shah of Iran being shuttled from place to place until death quietly came. No country wanted to be responsible for him, rather they waited for death to do its deed.

Neither the Senate nor the House wants this HB 2 to die in their hands. And so we wait.......

Kinda sad, isn't it?
